OK, fine whatever. Then is the demiurge Platonic, a morally neutral creator of the temporal reality we inhabit; or is the demiurge Gnostic, a force that is by its very temporal (and thus imperfect) nature antagonistic to the higher Supreme Being?

Her best short story is probably "The Emerald City", a retelling of the Genesis story of the Creation and Fall set in the Green Zone during the early days of the American invasion of Iraq.
